[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-886) Should be able to re-install an existing Addon if it is a SNAPSHOT

Should be able to re-install an existing Addon if it is a SNAPSHOT ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: FORGE-886 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-886 Project: Forge Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Container, Plugin Repository Affects Versions: 2.0.0.Alpha3 Reporter: Lincoln Baxter III Fix For: 2.x Future Currently re-installing Addons is not supported, because there is no way to tell Forge to stop using the existing deployed files without giving it time to detect the change and re-deploy the addon. In order to implement this, the Forge registry file probably needs to use some kind of marker files. {code} .dodeploy .deployed .undeployed {code} So that it knows how to respond when changes are made faster than timestamps can detect. This would (hopefully) also in theory be a step toward multi JVM (multiple running forge / concurrent modification instance) support. This has been partially implemented, but only naively. The files are actually re-written on UNIX based OS's, and will be re-loaded next time the addon is disabled/re-enabled, but this will not work on Windows.
